How to buy Real Madrid tickets: Prices, membership, essential guide to cheap La Liga tickets 2025/26

Securing tickets to watch Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is challenging due to the club's immense popularity across the globe, resulting in high demand for tickets. Major matches, like El Clasico against Barcelona or Champions League games, often sell out quickly, sometimes before public release. This is driven by priority access for members, limited official release dates, and enthusiastic fans eager to see the team live.

The process can be further complicated by payment restrictions and a robust resale market, making it difficult for many fans to secure a seat at the Bernabeu. Despite these challenges, obtaining tickets is still achievable with the right approach. A recommended starting point is the official Real Madrid website, where ticket sales are typically announced one to two weeks prior to matches.

Fans can enhance their chances of securing tickets by becoming Madridista members, who enjoy earlier access to ticket sales. Additionally, considering hospitality packages may be advantageous, as these often include premium experiences along with the tickets.

Where to buy Real Madrid tickets

To buy Real Madrid tickets, visit the club's official website. From here, you will see that there are a couple of options available to you – either purchasing tickets online or over the phone with a ticket office employee.

If you find that all tickets for the match you want to attend are sold out directly through the club, then you will either have to accept that you can't attend that match or try your luck on a third-party resale website. These sites do come with security risks, but some of them do offer some layer of protection to put your mind at ease.

Regardless of that, you are almost always going to pay over the odds for Real Madrid tickets via this method. But given that it is largely hassle-free, at least compared to buying tickets through the club, some fans are prepared to pay the extra costs.

SeatPick and Livefootballtickets are two of the most-trusted ticket resale platforms offering you a chance to watch Real Madrid matches at Santiago Bernabeu as well as other games across European leagues.

Match Ticket prices at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

Real Madrid season tickets: Pricing, availability

The only way to guarantee your ticket for every match at the Santiago Bernabeu is to purchase a Real Madrid season ticket. This is a ticket that you pay for up front at the beginning of each season, which gives you access to the same seat at the Bernabeu for every home match.

Getting a season ticket at the Bernabeu is the dream of every Madridista, but only a select few are ever able to fulfil that dream, due to costs and availability.

Like most big clubs across Europe, Real Madrid have a large number of supporters on the waiting list. The list only ever gets smaller if existing season ticket holders choose not to renew at the end of each season. Note that most season ticket holders renew every summer, so only a handful, if that, become available. 

Currently, the cheapest season ticket option at the Bernabeu is €1,350, while the most expensive costs €4500.

Real Madrid matchday tickets and single-match tickets: Pricing, availability

Members can purchase Real Madrid tickets for individual matches. If you don't have a membership, you'll have to hope that the ticket sales process opens to the general public, which is quite rare. 

However, cup games and matches against weaker opposition do occasionally reach this point, so it's worth checking before exploring other avenues.

The prices for individual matches are usually determined by the strength of the opposition and the seating area required. Real Madrid tickets for individual matchdays in La Liga begin from €75 for club members or €100 for non-members. 

On rare occasions, tickets are available for the Grandstand, but the starting price is €287 for members and €410 for non-members.

The cheapest tickets at the Bernabeu are in the fourth tier behind both goals. These are also the least desirable tickets in terms of view, so they are often available on a match-by-match basis, except for matches against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and all Champions League home knockout ties.

When do Real Madrid tickets go on sale?

Real Madrid tickets are made available for purchase just before the excitement of a new season begins, and occasionally, days before a specific match day. This advance sale mainly benefits Real Madrid season ticket holders, including those wishing to relocate their seats to enjoy a different view of the action on the pitch.

For fans who do not hold season tickets, the opportunity to secure a ticket just one day before a match may still be possible, contingent upon availability. Season ticket holders enjoy the convenience of a well-planned calendar for the upcoming season, ensuring that all matches are prepaid, along with the added advantage of exclusive discounts tied to their purchases.

For those without season tickets, it is crucial to stay updated on the ticket sales windows. Be sure to frequently check the official Real Madrid website and the club's dynamic social media channels for the latest announcements. Additionally, reaching out to the ticketing office by phone can provide further assistance with any questions you might have. When making inquiries, be sure to specify the type of ticket you wish to book, such as VIP, to enhance your match day experience.

Do I need a membership to buy Real Madrid tickets?

If you want to buy Real Madrid tickets for the biggest matches, including Champions League knockout matches and El Clasicos, then yes, you will need to have a membership. However, if you want to buy tickets for matches against ‘smaller' La Liga opposition or for Copa del Rey fixtures, then you probably don't. Tickets for these types of games often go on general sale, allowing anyone to pick up tickets.

How to get a Real Madrid membership

This is a straightforward process, with Real Madrid’s website covering everything. The main types of membership, turning you officially into a ‘Madridista’, are as follows:

• Regular Membership: This has one, two, or three-year duration plans. The longer the period you want to commit to, the cheaper the annual fee. The fee for this plan varies from €123 per year for three years up to €153 for a single year. 
• Junior Membership: This is an option only for youngsters aged 14 or below. It can be purchased only in conjunction with a regular membership, and the cost varies from €30 to €37 per year.

Both of these memberships offer priority access to tickets at the Bernabeu, making them worthwhile if you live in Madrid or nearby. If you are travelling from afar and think you'll only be able to get to one or two matches a season, then it's not worth it.

Real Madrid ticket prices at the Santiago Bernabeu

The price of Real Madrid tickets for their home matches varies based on the opposition and competition. Very rarely are there Real Madrid tickets available for general sale for Champions League matches. 

There's a much higher chance of finding a Santiago Bernabeu ticket for a La Liga fixture. Depending on the stand chosen and the fixture's popularity, the price of a single matchday ticket can vary from as low as €75 to €410 for a premium seat.

How to buy Real Madrid tickets as a non-European

The official way to book Real Madrid tickets outside Europe is through the VIP-Corporate Hospitality area, which sells tickets to hospitality companies/travel agencies. You can also do so through the club's official website. Travel agencies often have discounted packages for tourists visiting Santiago Bernabeu. However, the club is not responsible for any of the packages offered via travel agencies.

Note that non-European supporters looking to watch any of the Real Madrid matches sometimes find it difficult to secure the tickets at checkout.

For example, fans in the US have reported challenges with checking out using their debit/credit cards because the 3DSecure payment checkout is not available to them. With that, we recommend seeking assistance from friends in Europe to help you with the purchase.

Keep checking the official Real Madrid website to remain abreast of the ticket release dates and prices.

Real Madrid hospitality tickets

Real Madrid hospitality tickets give football fans a chance to experience the emotions and atmosphere of the Bernabeu from an advantageous location in the stadium. The tickets can also be used at the Movista Arena, where you'll enjoy exclusive VIP treatment.

Note that Hospitality tickets to any game at Real Madrid stadium cater for hostess services, gourmet catering and cloakroom access located within the hospitality seating locations. To book, fill in the form provided on the booking platform or contact the support team through the email or phone number provided on the official club ticketing platforms.

There are two main options for those: Season Real Madrid hospitality tickets and Matchday Real Madrid hospitality tickets. All hospitality tickets guarantee a 360º panoramic view of the pitch and include gourmet catering, hostess services and cloakroom in annexed hospitality areas. 

From the matches listed on the Real Madrid website, you can see that the value of hospitality tickets varies depending on the significance and popularity of a match.

How to buy Real Madrid away tickets

When it comes to acquiring Real Madrid away tickets, they are sold exclusively to season ticket holders. Because there are not always as many tickets for home matches, only supporters who buy season tickets and have the most loyalty points are awarded tickets for away matches. 

For popular away matches, such as fixtures against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, away tickets become even harder to secure. Such popular away games are often sold out way before the season begins. As we have stated, ticket sales for both high-profile and low-profile away matches first target loyal club supporters who meet a point threshold set by the club.

Also, note that a non-member will rarely be able to get their hands on a Real Madrid away ticket, but often enough, club members can get one.  The bottom line is that you can only improve your chances of being among the travelling Los Blancos fans by registering as a club supporter.

Next, pay the requisite fees we have explored earlier and start booking as many Real Madrid matches as you can. This puts you in an advantageous position because the more matches you book, the higher your points.
